Contrasexualidad y contratextualidad: el discurso amoroso en la narrativa gay

Abstract

From the notions of « technology » and « countersexuality », we propose to study the literary representations of gay love’s discourse. This approach starts from the fact that the dominant love’s discourse functions as a technology that shapes the expression of love sentiment in a normative scenario. However, gay literature, by the very marginality of the desire it represents, breaks those heteronormative codes and produces new modalities of love expression that function as « countertechnologies ».
